There are several plugins delivered with FreeMind 0.8.0 and 0.8.1, including a reminder plugin, a plugin for export to SVG and PDF and a help plugin. If you use the ''max'' version of FreeMind, you have the plugins delivered as part of the distribution, so you do not need to install them manually. The functions that plugins offer are accessible from various menu items.

The '''time management plugin''' enables you to select dates from a calendar, add these dates to the selected nodes and to add reminders. A reminder is a date that is stored with the node it is attached to. Periodically, FreeMind checks if the date/time is already reached and inform you using blinking icons.

* Only FreeMind "Max" version contains plugins.

* There is a bug in FreeMind v.0.8.0 in that plugins are not loaded if you start FreeMind by clicking on a .mm file that is not in the same folder as FreeMind. The bug should not be there in FreeMind 0.8.1.

WSL creates a complete MediaWiki wiki from the mind map. WSL initializes corporate wikis with a "wiki scaffolding": a wiki installation where some categories, permissions, etc, are initialized to mimic the corporate settings.

WikiWhirl is a wiki refactoring tool. It extracts a mind map from a wiki, let the users perform changes over the mind map and save back those changes to the wiki.
